National Caramel Popcorn Day is one of 175 Days to Love Chicago; a 175-day series of programs, promotions, and fun history that celebrates the city’s birthday. The 175th anniversary of the city’s incorporation launched on March 4 and continues through August 26, 2012. The cultural calendar offers visitors and residents exciting opportunities to explore Chicago everyday. From special events to special packages at local hotels, the campaign showcases the breadth and vibrancy of Chicago’s cultural landscape.

The City of Chicago was founded 175 years ago today, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than to enjoy The Chicago Mix in a Chicago Skyline tin! Visit one of our Chicago Shops to find yours today.

Looking for other ideas on how to make this birthday special? The Sun Times has created a list of 175 ways to enjoy the city. Our blend of sweet CaramelCrisp® and savory CheeseCorn™ is only listed once, but we know it’s what makes the party.

A Chicago Tradition Since 1949

What makes Garrett Popcorn Shops® so special? Since 1949, only the highest-quality ingredients are used in our gourmet Popcorn. We hot air pop our signature blend of kernels, which we then mix into our secret family recipes. Every batch of Garrett Popcorn is handcrafted daily in old-fashioned copper kettles. The result? A ­­­­­snacking sensation!
